POLE AND BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 576,637, dated February9, 1897.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. V AN NOTE, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Boston, in the coun ty of Suffolk and State ofMassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in aCombined Curtain-Pole and Bracket; and I do declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of thisspecification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements incurtainpoles and brackets; and it is the aim of my invention to producea combination device of this nature which will admit of the readyadjustment and removal of the pole.

A further and important part of my invention resides in the novel meansforholding the bracket to the window, whereby the bracket is removablyheld to the casing or to a recessed nail secured to the casing and heldin place by means of a thumb-screw.

To these ends and to such others as the invention may pertain the sameconsists, further, in the novel construction, combination, andadaptation of the parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

I clearly illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, which,with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of thisspecification, and in which drawings simithroughout the several views,in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the pole and bracket assecured in place to the casing of a window. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectionthrough one of the brackets in a vertical plane. Fig. 3 is an enlargeddetail sectional view of a bracket at opposite end of the pole.

Reference now being had to the details of the construction of theinvention, A designates a bracket which is horizontally apertured for asuitable distance, as at a, which is provided to receive one end of thepole B. At right angles to the said aperture or hole a is another hole0, opening into the former, and

is designed to receive the pin or screw, one

end of which pin is sharpened, as seen at d, and this point may beprovided with screwthreads, as desired, and has an annular recess D nearits opposite end or head, into which recess the end of a thumb-screw Fis adapted to rest when the pin D is held in the bracket, thus lockingthe pole securely to the bracket. The opposite end of the pole is heldin an aperture c in the bracket E, which bracket E is held to thewindowcasin g by means of a screwthreaded pin G.

In applying the pole to the brackets the brackets are supported on thescrews or pins D and G, one end of the pole inserted in the aperture orhole e in bracket E and the opposite end inserted in the hole a inbracket A, and the thumb-screw F screwed into the recess in screw D,thus securely locking the end of the said screw to the bracketcontaining the same. It will thus be seen that the pole ends may beeasily and quickly detached, while the screws may be left in the casing.

If desired, a thumb-screw F may be carried in the bracket E, with theinner end of the said screw adapted to bear against the end of the poleand hold the latter securely in position. The said thumb-screw, ifdesired, may be placed on the under side of the bracket or at any otherconvenient location whereby the end of the screw may be made to engagewith the end of the pole.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim to be new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

. A curtain-poleand brackets comprising the pole B, the bracket E havinga slot to receive one end of said pole, combined with the bracket 0slotted to receive the other end of the pole, and a pin D having anannular groove about its head, said pin designed to be held in a hole inthe bracket O, and a thumb-screw F in the bracket which looks the latterto the said grooved pin, substantially as shown and described. a

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES H.- VAN NOTE.
